<h2>Import SeaDAS Browse Products</h2>

<h3>SeaWiFS Level-1A Browse Products</h3>

<p>
    Each Level-1A browse product is generated from a corresponding Level-1A GAC or HRPT product. The main data content
    of
    the product is a true-color image generated from subsampled, calibrated, Rayleigh-corrected data for bands 2, 5 and
    6,
    stored as one byte per pixel. Each Level-1A browse product corresponds exactly in geographical coverage (scan-line
    and
    pixel extent) to that of its parent Level-1A product and is stored in one physical HDF file.
</p>

    The Level-1A browse images can be viewed at:

<p>
    Each Level-2 browse product is generated from a corresponding Level-2 product. The main data contents of the product
    are
    a subsampled version of the chlorophyll-a image stored as one byte per pixel. Each Level-2 browse product
    corresponds
    exactly in geographical coverage (scan-line and pixel extent) to that of its parent Level-2 product and is stored in
    one
    physical HDF file.
